One reason it is hard is I hate didactic writing, or even just explaining my references. When you're writing for your own age milieu, you can get away with, for eg. dropping a currently popular TV show ref and everybody gets it. When you're writing for 12y younger, not so much

It's not a mystery that this will happen... you are living at time = now as an author, but your archives leave in your life-stage time at the time of writing, so kinda makes sense that my 2008 posts might still have some interest for today's 34 year olds

doesn't help that I still look much younger than I am, though that's changing

Also gives the experience of feeling like you're intelligently dodging certain problems that come with age, but paying the price by finding yourself with problems that fewer people get themselves into (only solution: read more Ribbonfarm lmao)

so more that your writing is timeless, or more that you’re able to communicate across generations effectively?
